I once had a friend who was blind and deaf (the term "dumb" is no longer used) and she would hold my hands as I talked to her in American Sign Language, and she could feel what signs I was making with her hands, and then she would reply to me in Sign Language. One other thing she did with people who didn't know much sign language is that she would write on a toy slate like a child would use, the kind with the plastic sheet that you lift up to erase it. The person talking to her would spell their words in sign language, fingerspelling.

IMPROVED: The post below is correct, but I MUST add that it has long been considered VERY INAPPROPRIATE to say deaf and dumb. Deaf is to not hear. Mute is to not speak. Deaf and dumb is considered extremely offensive. Also know that many deaf persons speak with their mouths just as hearing persons do.Sign language is the most common form of communication used. Basically, it is an additional language people learn so they can talk together in another way. Lip reading is also used, but it is better as an augmentation, rather than as a primary means of communication.
